Spring 2024
VQR’s Spring 2024 issue explores fraught bonds and the sometimes-fragile networks that connect people with each other and the environment. Wei Tchou finds an outlet for grief in the rehabilitation of a dying fern; Lois Parshley investigates how far we should go to save species at risk of extinction; and Mathias Depardon’s photos of sand extraction in the Maldives bring readers deep into the economy of another natural resource at risk of overharvesting. The issue also features a comic by Miroslav Sekulic-Struja; fiction by Harriet Armstrong, Ji Hyun Joo, and Kevin Moffett; and poetry by Jasmine Reid, Mathew Weitman, and others.
